For puriud Of four years I've been ii vic
tim of It very severe and agOuLIng case of
Salt RhCum, which affected my hands to such
an extent that they almost become Il burden.
My hand became raw and hOTriiyinE, COM
pu'Iiug me to Keep II covered all the time.
I'VE spent hundreds of dollars for various
preparations, but instead of bcnciting my
condition, they all seemed to stimulate and
encourage the progress of the miserable dis
case, until had about given up all hope.
But thank heaven, the darkest hour is Just
before day and am TciOiCed to know that u
positive cure mas been found, which is known

My family all rejoice at its magical curative
powers IN giving me relief My hand has been
cured and resembles II burnt surface after be

HE CONSPIRACY CASE.

After one week of prolonged labor
this case draws to close. The most
searching analysis fails to establish AIRY
case of conspiracy on the part OF M
-pTOhbitionist- to Curtail 'Uorty OF
speech, or action among the prohibition
lists or any part of them. The evidence
has been on the whole totally Irrelevant
to the charge, and hu- OF itself been suf-
tiCient to compel the commissioner, from
sheer sense of Justice, to discharge
One-hslf of the accused. What will be
done with the remainder doth not yet
appear, but il il certain that the charge
of conspiracy on the part OF anti-prO-
hiOitiOnists is Ms cfiectually exploded as
though dynamite charge had blown
that unsubstantiated affidavit Ia the
four winds of heaven The parties
guilty o. disturbing that prohibition
meeting did so Of their own Ill viii and
pure cussedness, and they did so moved
thereto by no word Of act of the anti
prObibitionIsts. Whatever offences
these parties, or any OF them, have
committed, were private otfenses-tbat
is to say personal, and for which they
were alone personally responsible.
Some Of these were arrested and fined
for disturbing the peace. sud ihpr, is
abundant evidence that the chiyf-OI-
police was not r,miss in his endeavOTs
to preserve the peace. This is the con-
Clusion OF the matter. Was il necessary
to occupy the attention Of the United
States court for more than week in
examining into matter upon which the
city recorder passed in few minutes
and for which the LEGALITY penalty i'm
posed by statue WAS exactpd
The city has been brought into disrc-
pute by an act OF outlqwry: that act was
promptly repudiated by the anti-prohi-
bitiOnists and the rioters punished in
the local police courts. That should
have ended the matter. and If other
offenders were discovered, deal with
them accordingly. This dragging the
case before the .. =. commissioners. ia
a pretense IL is an endpavur to Sc
cure an impeachment Of the mayor for
previous refusal Of the public plaza,
for the holding OF prohibition mass
meeting, and has no more to do with
the conspiracy case" under which II is
being tried, that the color Of little
mig. has to DO with black night.

HE AMERICAN MAGAZINE.

The July number Of this Magazine.
with its clear type, well arranged mat.
ter and thoroughly readable contents is
living witness to the possibility OF
publishing a 50 monthly that is no way
inferior to the 81 article One of it's
characteristic articles is that by Rev. s
". Culver, president Of Bishop College
in this state. The article deals with the
educational schools of the cOlored peO-
pie in the southwest. showing what pro-
gress has been made, what difficulties
have had to be suTmOunted and what
work still lies before those who ara in
teresting themselves in this work of
races education and advancement. The
article Is illustrative rather than ex-
haustive, showing what has been
done in this particular school
and from that deducing some
general observations concerning
the work necessary to be done.
Literary Lie in Philadelphia" Is an
other really American and highly inter.
esting article; as is also the article de-
Tending southern cookery and showing
the old time hospitality of southern
mansions. The magazine needs to be
read to be appreciated at the full. The
"Amerioan" aims to be truly repre-
sentative of America in its thought and
teachings and as such cOmmends itself
to the American reader. Its effort to
restore the old time prices to our month
ly literature is meeting with unqusI-
flied success and will in time compel a
general return to the 50 90 a year
schedule. Prices OF material and appIi-
ances for making books and magazines
all favor the return. The products Of
the loom and the farm never we're lower
in price than now, and our literature
should not be put upon the top shelf
where only the rich can take and eat
and grow thereby.

A NATIONAL convention OF anarchists
to organize an anarchist party to carry
on government, ia the latest lncOngruity.
They want to nominate president and
control this country. Government and
anarchy are incOmbatible terms, and are
mutually destructive Of each other. 10
talk of anarchists organizing govern
ment would he like organizing disoOrd
TO carry ont musical programme, or
organizing disease to carry out the work
OF sanitation and health. The so-Called
anarchist who organizes for anything Is
either not an anarchists or a fool. An
archy Ia disOrgRniZing Ii breeds dis
organization, and only exists by virtue
of all disOrgsniZing Influences and pow
ers. The Cranks in Herr MOst's crowd
can. however, be depended upon TO do
any fool thing most any time, and not
disappoint the general expectation.

A CHILD'S SKIN.
Ears and Scalp Covered with ECze-
matOus SCabs and1SOreS
Cured by,CutiCura.

MY little son, aged eight years, has been Hi-
vi tliCtCd with Eczema of the scalp, and at
times a great portion Of the body, ever since
he was two years old. II began in his cars,
ana extended Ia his scalp, which became GOV
cred with sCHbs and sores, aud from which
sticky fluid poured out, causing intense itch
ing aud distress, and leaving his halr matted
and liiuICss. Underneath these sCabS the skin
was raw, like Il piece of bCotStCak. Gradually
the hair came out and was destroyed, until
but a small patch was left at the back of the
head NV friends in Peabody know how my
mite boy has suffered. At night he would
scratch his head until his pillow was covered
with blood used to tie his hands beh nd him.
and i'm many ways tried to prevent his
scratching: but II no use, he would
scratch / took him to the hospital and to the
hest physicians in Peabody without success.
About this time. some friends who had been
cured 10y the CUTICURA REMEDIES, prevailed
upon me to try them. began to use them on
the 18th Of January last. In seven months
every particle Of the disease was removed.
NOt II spot or sCub remains on his scalp to tell
the story of his suffering. His hair returned,
and j. thick and strong, and his scalp rs sweet
and clean AS any ChiId's in the world ] can
not say enough to express my gratitude for
this wonderful cure by the CuTICURA RENE
DIES and wish all similarly afflicted To know
that my statement is true and without CNag-
gcratiGn. CHARLES MCKAY,
